Well, honey, you're gonna need 20 short isosceles triangles to build that fabulous Icosahedron. Each face of the Icosahedron is made up of an isosceles triangle, and there are 20 faces in total. So, do the math and get building, darling!

According to some definitions an icosahedron is considered a Platonic solid so that each of its faces is an equilateral triangle. You would, therefore need three coplanar isosceles triangles to make each face of the icosahedron. Since there are 20 faces in an icosahedron, you would need 60 such triangles.
